"How do we KNOW that that is "not true."
I wasn't there. Were you?
How does ANYBODY, whether he's from FR or anywhere else, "know" that? Unless he was there?
I really do think a lot of people, on all sides, are jumping the gun (no pun intended) before we have the information to know the whole story."
You weren't there? Thanks for telling me. David Letterman wasn't either.
I'm just going by what had been reported by the local authorities (sheriff's dept) who were notified of the incident one hour after it happened. I just googled ONE news report saying that alcohol wasn't a factor....there are many. Example:
"The chief deputy sheriff for Kenedy County, Gilbert San Miguel, said the investigation into the shooting had not yet been completed, but that alcohol had not been a contributing factor and that the incident was being treated as a hunting accident."
Maybe you should do more reading instead of shooting your mouth off at me. You sound angry.

No, I'm not angry. Why would I be? Or anyway why would I be mad at YOU? We're all good conservative Republicans here, aren't we?
What you said, in the post I was responding to, was:
""did anyone hear him say that Cheney and the others were drinking (alcohol) at the time? Well we here on FR know that's not true,"
I had read the statement you quoted from the deputy sheriff. He said "alcohol was not a CONTRIBUTING factor." The sheriff didn't say that "nobody was drinking at the time." Those are two different things.
They could easily have had a drink or even two, without that being a "CONTRIBUTING" factor to the unfortunate incident. Unless you think that if they did have a drink it automatically means that was the reason Whittington got shot.
My point was, I honestly don't think we can yet say we "KNOW" much at all.
